2 stripped bolts in my transmission?

The bolts on the very top at 11 and 1 O'Clock, seem to be stripped. They turn and turn but never loosen. Anyone had this happen and what should I do. Trying to remove my transmission for a rebuild.

Those are bolts your are turning, look on the other side of the engine and you'll see the nut or vice versa, two long bolts with nuts. Not very easy to get to, but not very hard either. So, I should be seeing this transmission soon?

If you meant physically, I may be able to UPS it to you tonight or in the morning. Thanks for the help Dave! I'll give you a call in little while if I need anymore help God Forbid!

The shift between first and second are tight. No more grinding, nice and smooth, I sincerely appreciate the work you've done, thank you! Reverse light finally works now too. I understand what you meant by the spec clutch kits having a stiff pressure plate, I went ahead and got the stage 3 as I told you I was getting, but also opted out for their flywheel also, instead of having my old one machined.

The only real difference I can see is how much faster the engine revs up, but that may be because my wallet is now empty.
